For this project I created a paper boat mobile, written on these boats are letters. The white boats are letters from you, the grey ones in the middle are letters responding back to you from Society. It talks about body image, and how you have to withhold a certain look, a certain ranking and so forth. As the letters descend down they get messier, smudged, as if they are getting ruined. This represents the destruction that evolves over time from trying so hard to become something that doesn't even exist. I have it set up as a mobile because it's representing the beginning of a child's life, that society is always around.
